Roskilde Festival is festival held south of Roskilde in Denmark and is one of the five biggest annual music festivals in Europe (the other four being the Sziget Festival, the Glastonbury Festival, the Paléo Festival and Rock Werchter). It was created in 1971 by two high school students, Mogens Sandfær and Jesper Switzer Møller, and promoter Carl Fischer.[1] In 1972, the festival was taken over by the Roskilde Foundation, which has since run the festival as a non-profit organization for development and support of music, culture and humanism.
